Anybody looking forward to this? :)

 

The BBC has announced that a reality TV contest, Let's Dance for Comic Relief, will be the Saturday charity show leading up to Comic Relief night on March 14.

 

The show will feature stars recreating legendary dance routines from movies such as Saturday Night Fever and pop videos and will begin screening on Saturday, February 21.

 

The acts, who haven't yet been announced, will include solo dancers, duos and groups and will be trained by top choreographers. They will then dance live on Let's Dance for Comic Relief in front of a panel of experts, although viewers will ultimately decide the champion(s).

 

Let's Dance for Comic Relief will be presented by Claudia Winkleman (pictured) and Steve Jones.

Jo Brand has dressed up as pop superstar Britney Spears to promote the charity show Let's Dance For Comic Relief.

 

The comedienne put on red tights, a mini-skirt and blouse tied at the waist for her take on Spears's debut hit 'Baby One More Time'

 

Brand told the Radio Times: "It is my favourite... And more to the point, I couldn't really see myself in a red shiny jumpsuit doing 'Oops!... I Did It Again'.

 

"That would have been too Michelin Man for words."

 

Brand will be joined by famous chefs, cast members from Hollyoaks and a raft of other celebrities competing on the show.

 

Let's Dance For Comic Relief launches on BBC One on Saturday, February 21 and concludes with the winner being crowned on Saturday, March 14.

I think it is a bit of a crap idea, but it should be fun to watch, especially Jo Brand by the sounds of that :lol:

Weird that Jo Brand is on this, when in the real thing they had John Sargeant! The pair could have been separated at birth!

 

Should be fun!

Robert Webb was hilarious doing What A Feeling from Flashdance. :dance: Here is the link:

 

The cast of Hollyoaks were AMAZING!

And I've now developed a huge crush on the boy who plays Elliott; he's too adorable, aww.

LMFAO!!!

 

Keith and Paddy had me in STITCHES!! They were properly into the role whilst not being TOO serious (if that makes sense :lol:)

 

Jo was disappointing TBH the Hollyoaks cast deserved to go through over her :(
